So let me make sure I've got this...

You don't need to learn anything apart from the Bible. You know this because the Bible has told you this, and that's the only thing you've learnt. And it's the only thing you've learnt because the Bible has told you that it's the only thing you need to know.

Do you realise that throughout history, lots of people have told their followers that they have to ignore everyone else apart from them? Do you know how dangerous that kind of thinking is? You are willfully ignorant of so much, and you take pride in that. I would hate to shut off my mind to the wonders of the universe like that.

In any case, let me remind you of Proverbs 1:5: "Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance."

And Proverbs 18:15: An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

And Proverbs 9:9: Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

Dangerous, but to some, comforting.

I pity those who would rather have a comforting lie than a harsh truth.

Give me the truth any day.

Well, it depends on one's psyche. Some prefer comfort, to well evidenced reality. Has always been this way and always will be.

Are you trying to tell me that you don't want to learn about anything unless the Bible tells you to learn about it?

AV1611VET said:

Sure thing:

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

I point you to the Book of Kylie, Chapter 2, verses 1-5:

1. The Book of Kylie is the Truth.
2. You know it is the Truth, because the book just told you.
3. Since the Book is the Truth, it can never be wrong.
4. Since the Book can never be wrong, it must be right when it says that the Book is the Truth.
5. Therefore, the Book is the Truth.

Now that I have proven that the Book of Kylie is the Truth, I point you to Chapter 1, verse 2:

2. There is no God.

Speaking of learning.

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

You forget, I have proved that there is no God. See post 229 for details.

Does it bother you that Paganini didn't discuss photosynthesis?

Need I give you more examples, or does that one make my point?

We're not all called to be scientists.

Click to expand...

No, it doesn't bother me, because I don't feel that I need to limit my learning to subjects he spoke of.

And I know that not everyone is cut out to be a scientist, but what would you call a person who actively TRIES to remain ignorant?

This ignit at one time had an IQ of 174 and could play Chess blindfolded.

This ignit knows PI to the 20th decimal place.

This ignit graduated college summa cum laude.

This ignit says science can take a hike.

Does it sound to you like this ignit actively tries to remain ignorant?

Yes.

The "science can take a hike" bit is a dead giveaway.

The fact you once had an IQ of 174 is irrelevant. IQ is a pretty lousy way to measure someone's intelligence anyway, and it depends on the group of people you are measured against. Put me in an IQ test with a bunch of five year olds, and I'll be off the chart. Give me the same test with a bunch of Mensa members and I'll probably be in the double digits. Why? Because the results from the group are taken and then adjusted so the average is 100. As such, the results vary depending on which group you are measured against.

Likewise, the fact that you know pi to the 20th decimal place is irrelevant. The ability to memorise a number does not require intelligence.

Your college graduation likewise is irrelevant. There are plenty of people who graduated college with higher scores than you, who disagree with you completely.

Your attempt to show off in this post is no more impressive than your inflated post count. I don't care about how many posts you have, I care about the QUALITY of those posts, and they have been filled with ignorance, logical fallacies and incorrect information.

Why don't you do your own homework?

Or do you think you are the first person to ever ask this question?

No. Rather, I really like that he did not discuss it, and instead kept to the subjects he had learned about.
Here´s hoping that Paganini never said "Photosynthesis can take a hike".

No, and no.
